Sharing in hopes of spreading awareness. :)
"In a few days, a lot
of creatures will visit your door. Be open minded. The child who is
grabbing more than one piece of candy might have poor fine motor skills.
The child who takes forever to pick out one piece of candy might have
motor planning issues. The child who does not say "trick or treat" or
"thank you" might be painfully shy, non-verbal, or selectively mute. If
you cannot understand their words, they may struggle with developmental
apraxia of speech. They are thankful in their hearts and minds. The
child who looks disappointed when he sees your bowl might have a
life-threatening allergy. The child who isn't wearing a costume at all
might have SPD or autism. Be kind, be patient, smile, pretend you
understand. It's everyone's Halloween. Make a parent feel good by making
a big deal of their special child."
